Katonah, New York — On Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 4:00 pm, Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts’ Great Artists in the Music Room series celebrates the holidays with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s in the Rosen House Music Room. One of America’s foremost chamber orchestras, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s returns to its birthplace to bring Caramoor’s Moz(art) series to a conclusion in this joyful afternoon concert. The all-Mozart program provides an alternative to traditional holiday classical fare with the master’s larger ensemble works for winds: the Divertimentos Nos. 12 and 14 for oboes, horns and bassoons; and the Gran Partita, widely regarded as his most unparalleled piece of the genre.
Great Artists in the Music Room – Moz(art)
Moz(art) is a three-part fall series exploring Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s more intimate and collaborative music through a beautiful selection of chamber and vocal works. The most enduringly loved composer of the Classical era, Mozart created pinnacles of the repertoire in every genre that he touched. His genius, his vision, and his prolific body of work have had a profound influence on subsequent Western art music. Featured artists are The Kuss Quartet, Caramoor Virtuosi, and The Orchestra of St. Luke’s.
